Fairy Tea Temple Notes

In the morning, Ke Shicheng sent his uncle to the pier to take a boat, watched him leave, and then returned alone.Ke Shicheng walked quickly past tourists and bustling shops, and came to a relatively quiet alley. He slowed down and walked under the shade of trees.The sun shines on the Western-style veranda by the roadside, and the old Roman columns are covered with vines that died in an unknown year.

"Mr. Ke, good morning."

A female voice sounded, Ke Shicheng raised his head, and saw a beautiful woman walking opposite, it was Su Yan.Su Yan was going downhill, Ke Shicheng was going uphill, and he met her bright red lips with a smile on the corner of her lips.

"Good morning."

Ke Shicheng responded politely, turning his body to one side to make way for Su Yan.The alley is not wide, and it is a bit crowded for two people to pass.At this moment, Ke Shicheng's eyes were attracted by Su Yan's right hand carrying the small square bag. There was a green thing like an earthworm wrapped around Su Yan's right hand. If you looked carefully, you would find that the disappearing end of it just stuck into Su Yan's mouth. wrist.

Ke Shicheng has seen such things in the past, this thing will not kill people, but if the host's essence is sucked away, the body will be weak.

Thinking back to yesterday, when I saw Su Yan for the first time, I didn't see such a green "earthworm" on her hand, and Su Yan's complexion was ruddy at that time, so I guess he provoked it somewhere this morning.

Just as Su Yan came and passed by, Ke Shicheng made a quick move and tore off what was on Su Yan's arm. He moved swiftly, but Su Yan still sensed that she looked up at Ke Shicheng with a confused look on her face.

"It's a dead branch."

Ke Shicheng showed what he had in his hand, and it turned out to be something like a dead branch.

The moment Ke Shicheng pulled it off, the green "earthworm" withered and shrank instantly. Fortunately, Su Yan couldn't see this process, otherwise she would turn pale with fright.

"Oh, thank you."

Although Su Yan felt that something was wrong, he still thanked him.

"Need not."

Ke Shicheng didn't stop, turned around and was about to leave, then turned around suddenly, and asked Su Yan who hadn't gone far, "I want to ask, where did Miss Su go this morning?"

Su Yan was taken aback by the question, and it took him a while to understand, and he replied, "Oh, I went to the Shi Family's Residual Building, what's the matter?"

"fine."

Su Yan thought, why did Mr. Ke ask such a strange question, and she didn't remember that there was something wrapped around her hand before.If it wasn't for Mr. Ke's serious face, Su Yan would have suspected some novel pursuit method.

When Su Yan looked up, there was Mr. Ke's slender figure beside him, and he disappeared in the deep alley.Su Yan felt that this Mr. Ke was rather strange.

Ke Shicheng turned to a small path, ready to go to the ruined building of the Shi family.He opened his palm, and the stems that were originally pinched in his palm decayed into grayish white and turned into ashes in the wind.

Ke Shicheng once visited the Shijia Residual Building when he was a child, when he was about seven or eight years old, and there were rumors of the ghost building at that time.The reason why this old-style western-style building is called a broken building is because a fire a century ago destroyed more than half of its houses.Today, only ruins remain, wild flowers and weeds growing on the foundation of the original site, and crooked old trees.

When Ke Shicheng came over, there happened to be no tourists on the side of the building, so he knew he couldn't delay, so he had to search quickly.In Ke Shicheng's memory, there was a tall epiphyllum in Shi's courtyard. Of course, this epiphyllum was destroyed by the fire just like other plants in the yard back then, leaving nothing left.But when the young Ke Shicheng came, what it showed in front of Ke Shicheng was still the way it was when its branches and leaves were flourishing and clusters of flowers.

Even after many years, Ke Shicheng came again, the epiphyllum was still in full bloom in front of Ke Shicheng.It grows alone in the corner of the collapsed courtyard wall, and a hundred years have passed by it, leaving traces of sadness.

Generally speaking, things like grass demons and flower spirits are rarely seen in cities, but as long as they are of a certain age and under special circumstances, they will still exist.

Ke Shicheng stared at this epiphyllum that only he could see, it was much shorter than childhood memories, Ke Shicheng was amazed by its beauty when he was a child, but now Ke Shicheng was surprised by its evil spirit.The white flowers withered instantly when Ke Shicheng approached, and the leaves curled and trembled.Ke Shicheng took out a talisman and held it between his fingers, the talisman ignited by itself, Ke Shicheng made a gesture to throw it on Epiphyllum.Epiphyllum disappeared without a trace as if it had evaporated out of thin air.Ke Shicheng seemed to smile, and he whispered: "It's not difficult for me to find you, come out obediently, and I won't burn you." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a delicate "hmm" in his head, Ke Shicheng lowered his head and saw a piece of wood near his feet. On the slate, stood a little flower spirit with white flowers on its head, dejected, and drooping its little head.

"come over."

Ke Shicheng stretched out his hand towards it, Xiaohua carefully jumped into Ke Shicheng's palm unwillingly, and turned into a seed.Ke Shicheng put it away and put it in his pocket.Just as Ke Shicheng stood up, he heard a voice behind him.Ke Shicheng turned his head and saw a couple of happy men and women taking wedding photos approaching. He was caught off guard and was given a mouthful of dog food.Ke Shicheng backed away, passed through the onlookers, and walked towards home.

Just like the big hermit in the city, in a popular place, spiritual plants will be ready to move if they are contaminated with human breath.After the body of an old epiphyllum was burned, the essence was still there.After years of frequent contact with human beings, it has become conscious. It tries to attach branches to human beings, obtain energy, and longs for resurrection.

When Ke Shicheng returned home, he found a small flowerpot in the yard, filled the flowerpot with soil, and put it on the table.Ke Shicheng was not in a hurry to plant the epiphyllum seeds, the ordinary planting methods would not germinate them.Ke Shicheng pricked blood on his fingertips, and dropped a drop of blood on the epiphyllum seed. The blood seeped into the seed and disappeared without a trace in an instant.Ke Shicheng heard a joyful voice in his head: "Thank you." With no expression on his face, he took out a blank talisman, wrote a sealing spell on the talisman paper, folded the talisman, and buried it in the flower pot.This epiphyllum spirit has done harm to others, and with Ke Shicheng, it has to be obedient and not do any bad things.

Epiphyllum Essence: "..."

After finishing these, Ke Shicheng buried the epiphyllum seeds in a small flower pot and poured water on them.The small flower pot is not as big as a palm, so it is convenient to bring back to Baishui Town.

After all, flower essence is not common, Ke Shicheng plans to keep it, and it has uses.

In the afternoon, Ke Shicheng left Jiahe Island and drove to Q City. He would return to Baishui Town before dusk, so that he could still have a dinner made by He Qing.

At dusk, Ke Shicheng's car arrived at Baishui Town.As soon as the car was parked, He Qing's phone call happened to happen. He Qing asked if he had arrived?Ke Shicheng said he had just arrived.He Qing smiled and said, "That's right, the meal is ready."

Ke Shicheng got out of the car and took the small flowerpot with him, thinking he could give it to He Qing.I heard from the master that the epiphyllum that has become a fine flower blooms especially beautifully at night.

Hurrying up the stairs and arriving at He Qing's home, Ke Shicheng handed He Qing a small flower pot and said, "Epiphyllum has not sprouted yet."He Qing took it, looked at the empty flowerpot, and seemed to see something, he smiled and said, "Can I bask in the sun?" Ke Shicheng said yes, and He Qing casually placed the flowerpot on the balcony, together with the succulents .

He Yan looked at the two suspiciously, and said to Ke Shicheng: "Don't give my brother anything strange."

Ke Shicheng said blankly, "Send flowers."

The three of them sat and ate together, they didn't talk about Ke Shicheng's return home, and of course they didn't mention the old things like Ke Shicheng's parents' plane crash.

Just like a family having dinner, watching TV and chatting about gossip.

He Yan was no longer surprised by the extra bowls and dishes on the table, she accepted that He Qing and Ke Shicheng raised a "pet".Even occasionally, she would see things like these two pets, which she reluctantly accepted.

Accepting it is one thing, but adapting to it is another. He Yan stared at Xiao Hui, watching Xiao Hui nimbly pecking at the mung beans one by one—there were mung beans in the pork belly soup.

Ke Shicheng noticed it and knew she had seen it.

"Shi Cheng, sister can not only see Xiao Hui, but also Xiao Huang."

"Oh."

Ke Shicheng put down his chopsticks and took a spoon to drink the soup. The pork belly soup made by He Qing was really delicious, delicious in the world.

"Xiaoqing, there's that one over there, don't tell me it's a radish essence."

He Yan pointed at the back of Xiao Hui, that is, a "radish" bouncing on the coffee table.

"Sister, it's a little grass demon."

He Qing helped explain that it wasn't the carrot that became the essence.

"When I came back this trip, the three views were all broken."

He Yan gulped down the soup, and didn't want to care about it anymore, anyway, she was going back tomorrow.

At dusk, the siblings lit up the street lamps, and Ke Shicheng stood outside the courtyard gate to watch.He just stopped randomly, within ten meters, like a big sweep, there was not a single ghost.

He Qing looked at Ke Shicheng, and Ke Shicheng was also looking at him. He Qing walked over and asked him in a low voice: "Shicheng, are there some ghosts that won't come out of the human world in Ghost Moon?"

"That's it."

Ke Shicheng simply replied that he actually knew more, but it was not convenient for him to say.

The siblings stayed at the old house at night, but they still didn't see grandpa.

He Qing waited in the side hall until late at night, and then went to bed first, while He Yan waited until the early morning as usual, and only went to lie down on the bed when she was really sleepy.

The night in the He family's old house was very quiet. Xiao Huang fell asleep on the lacquered wooden armchair with a simple and honest sleeping face.Early in the morning, He Qing got up and left the room. When he came to the side hall, he happened to see Xiao Huang who was sleeping.

He Qing stroked its furry head, feeling that it had worked hard these two nights.

This ghost month, He Qing will light up the street lamps every evening like the villagers, but starting tonight, he will no longer sleep in the old house.

He Yan didn't get up until the sun was high, replenished her energy, and then ate a meal at He Qing's place, revived with full blood, and drove away from Baishui Town.Originally, she made a special trip to guide Guiyue to guide the legend of the ghost returning home, but when she came to the old house in He Village, who would have thought that she would not be able to make her wish come true.

Maybe Grandpa, apart from these ghosts who came out of hell to "let the wind", he had something to delay his return home.

He Qing doesn't have as much obsession as his sister. He feels that seeing and seeing can't follow the fate. It's already a separation between yin and yang, and it's not easy to meet each other.
